Bakersfield is home to 20 solar contractors in CSLB's license file, the most in Kern County. 95% are Clear.

The share with a suspension (5%) is close to the Kern County rate for the same license (4.2%). 30% report a workers' comp exemption, 4.2 points lower than the statewide figure for solar contractors (34.2%), so many of these businesses say they have no employees.

The median solar contractor here has held a license for 9.2 years (less than the statewide median of 14), and 1 license was issued in the last 12 months.

In California this work generally calls for the C-46 Solar Contractor license (or a B license when it is part of a larger multi-trade job). See the C-46 Solar Contractor guide for what the license covers.

How to check a solar contractor's license in Bakersfield

  1. Look the company up by name or license number (search Bakersfield). On the profile, confirm three things: Clear status, the C-46 license for this kind of work, and a contractor's bond on file.
  2. Before any money changes hands, verify the license on CSLB's own lookup. Our data comes from CSLB's weekly file, so a very recent change may not show here yet.
  3. Ask for the pocket license and a photo ID and match the name to your contract. Work of $1,000 or more needs a license (the $1,000 rule), and a down payment can't exceed $1,000 or 10% (down payment rules).
